An update on Mocha, she is sleeping right now, but I did get some footage of her in the video!

Pictures!!

Hi guys! I will try to update a little more regularly now, although it all depends on all the stuff I have to do. But for the meantime, I HAVE PICTURES!! Yup, new pictures of the little diva. They aren't the best, because she was very energetic. I know what you guys are saying... "Whatever! Just get to the pictures!". Fine, here ya go!

Why, hello there camera. 

Like my tan? That's what I get for going on too many vacations :).

I'm done. I need  my space. Leave me alone. 

There you go! Some quick photos. I will try to take some more soon.

I'm back, fresh foods to feed your hamster

     Hi, everyone! I'm back! I had a great vacation that including tubing, water skiing, knee boarding, swimming, kayaking, and more! I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL time while I was gone! Mocha is doing wonderful, and she passed my checkup. She is very tired right now. I'll try to take a photo shoot tonight and get them uploaded sometime next week. I still have unpacking to do. I have something sad to say though. I don't think I've ever told you guys this, but I have a fish tank also, with 4 (-1) fish in there. I know this is a hamster blog, so if you want to know more about my fish, email me and I will be glad to tell you. I haven't been getting very many emails lately, so email me (since I'm taking a small break*read below* so I may not get back to you right away. I will answer though). Anyways, the fish I've had the longest, Chet, passed away while I was gone. Chet has been in the family for 2 years. He started off as my aunt's fish, and she soon gave it to me. I'm almost positive that Chet died of old age, since he was 2 years old. R.I.P. Chet. Anyways, sorry I haven't posted yet, I've been SO busy, unpacking and cleaning and all that good stuff. I won't be posting that much anymore until I have the time to get back to posting everyday. So it's almost like I'm taking a small break. So today, we will be talking about... 

Fresh foods to feed your hamster

     Yum! Fresh foods! Other than the regular hamster mix, you want to feed your hamster fresh foods at least 4 times a week.  Today, Mocha has broccoli, lettuce, celery leaves, a small piece of whole wheat bread, and a very, very, very small pinch of cheese. These things are all safe for all types of hamsters. The kinds of foods you want avoid are sugary foods and citric fruits such as strawberry, orange, etc. Blueberry is one of the only fruits for dwarf hamsters that I'm positive is safe for them, as long as it is in small amounts. The smallest blueberry in the container, cut in half, is as much as you want to give them. Syrians can have a little more, because they are not prone to diabetes. Winter whites don't get diabetes very easily, you have to be trying (which you should NEVER do) to give them diabetes. So I don't worry about Mocha that much, although I don't give her many sugary foods, because all hamsters can become obese. If you have a Syrian, you can give them a small piece of apple. Only Syrians and robos can have apple. I found a SUPER list of foods that you can feed your hamster, and it also includes a list of foods you can't. This is not mine, and I don't claim it to be. This link <-- click this. If you can't, copy and paste this. link.http://hamsterhideout.com/forum/topic/74051-safe-and-unsafe-foods-for-hamsters/

Sesame seeds/ Carefresh Colors

Hi everyone! This blog has been about Mocha lately, but I still want to do reviews, so today I'm doing two- Sesame Seeds and Carefresh colors bedding. Before I start- I'll give you all an update on Mocha... Wait... she isn't even here. Mocha is already at my grandmothers house where the guy will be taking care of her, so I have no idea how she is doing :(. She is probably fine though. She is a very tough cup of coffee. Haha, get it? No? OK,  I'll cross that one off my list. 

   Sesame Seeds

Anyways, let's start with sesame seeds. Mocha LOVES them. If I hold sesame seeds above her head, she'll stand on her hind legs with her mouth opened wide. Sesame seeds are safe for all types of hamsters, so give your hamster some! I give her a pinch of sesame seeds with her hamster food everyday.  I would give this food a 10/10

Carefresh Colors

Although Carefresh is expensive, I recommend it. It absorbs super well, and the price you pay is fair. A big bag (where I live) is $16, and when I first filled up my hamster cage, it didn't leave a dent in the bag. It expands A LOT. The hamster bedding is probably about 4 or 5 inches deep, and I have a big cage. It's also very soft, and my hamster loves to dig in it. I would give this bedding a 9/10, just because it still is expensive..

Well, I hope you all liked this post! Comment, follow, and share! 

Very, very, very, very, sad news :(

Hi guys :(. I have some sad news for you all. First of all, I just wanted to say, I had a good time at camp. But there is something more important on my mind. Mocha isn't... coming on vacation with us tomorrow. That means I'll be away from my sweet little baby (that I got like a week ago) for 2 weeks ( I included this past week). It's really sad The reason I can't bring her is because my grandmother said that if the owners of the house that we are staying in show up and find Mocha, we could get in trouble. Do you know what that means? It means I need to find someone to watch her. I have no idea who I should get. My mom said I should get my neighbor, but I'm not sure if I really trust him with her. I would want someone who had experience and was a good hamster owner. The wort part is I only have today to decide. I leave tomorrow. Darn, it's just been a bad day.

Goodbye!

I just wanted to say one last goodbye :). I won't be posting tomorrow before I go, because I'm leaving early. My mom and dad will be taking care of Mocha and the fish while I'm gone. Just an update on Mocha, she is curled up in a ball sleeping in the hamster tubes. She is so cute :). I seriously need to upload some more photos of her sleeping. I've just been sooo busy lately. I swear, I'll upload some when I get back. If you don't remember , I will be gone from tomorrow through the 14th, then on the 14th, and 15th, I will post, and then I will post again on the 23rd. Enjoy your summer while I'm gone! Don't forget, the first day of summer it the 21st! Bye everyone! Take care!

Bobby's Bunny Boutique

I have friends that don't like to shop at places such as Petsmart, or Petco, or Pets At Home, or Pet Land, or other animal places like that, because they don't like to support them. They believe that they don't take good care of their animals. So, if you are like some of my friends, I have a good place you can shop. Bobby's Bunny Boutique is a fantastic place to shop. I know what your thinking. I haven't even visited the shop yet, but OBVIOUSLY it's just for bunnies. Well say no more! Bobby's bunny boutique is for all small animals! So my friends that have guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, rabbits, bunnies, gerbils, mice, and any other small animals, visit! It's such a great place! One of the best things about it is that there is no tax! It's not a big store, so they don't have to do tax!!! And shipping is very reasonable. One of my favorite things other than the hamster products, is the t-shirt. There is a VERY cute T-shirt there, that has a hamster face, or a guinea pig face, or a bunny face.

Super cute right?! So visit, at http://www.bobbysbunnyboutique.com/

Vacation!

Mocha is coming on vacation with us! That way, we don't have to pay someone to watch her, and she is such great company. As long as everyone else in the fam is fine with Mocha coming, she will be attending our family reunion! She will have to stay in my parents room though, because I'm sharing a room with some of my cousins, and we don't want Mocha to keep them up (I honestly think that my mom just wants Mocha in there so she can play with her :). It's not until a couple weeks from now, and I'd just like to say, from the 10-22nd of June, I won't be blogging probably. I may blog on the 14th or the 15th, but especially not during the 10th- the 14th. I may blog after that. Well, updates on Mocha- Sleeping, as usual :)

Hamster Forum

I'd like to recognize a forum today that totally rocks. It's a hamster forum, and I love it :). It's called Hamster Hideout and it really is a great forum. They will answer all your questions for you, and you can get a lot of different opinions. It's a forum for all ages, and kid friendly, too. There is no foul language or anything inappropriate  and the rules state that everything has to be appropriate because they know that some kids are on the forum. Check it out at- http://hamsterhideout.com/forum/

Also, just an update on Mocha, she's being a lazy bum and sleeping right now. I can't blame her though, she is nocturnal.
